By blaming sellside analysts for losses incurred by buying their recommendation assumes that they (the analyst) had yoda-like psychic superpowers to know where the stock would be trading a year from the recommendation and that they somehow took advantage of the public. This just isn't true...

ivy grads get pretty girls. but so do rock stars.

both trading and 'ball", baseball, basketball etc on a competitive level requires strategy, decision, discipline and execution.

trading parallels ball. most guys realize early on that they can or can't when they go playground ball in bronx, stuff or get stuffed. most of you probably can't even dribble a ball, and if you did, someone might be calling 911 cos you look like you're having an epileptic seizure. you tell...

no. worldco was built by great traders, running a company for traders.

never considered this in my age, but hitman, it's a good thing you don't touch drinks.

what's wrong with those above mentioned, that you've given up on? they're f'ing hot!! asian girls too! comes down to this, if a girl is hot, cute, beautiful (pick from) and she's got a good mind, rather if she's lovely... then that's what it's all about, my brethren!! i'm not saying f...

Heard Wade Boggs ate chicken before every game, and maybe didn't once and struck out to dave righetti. Some pitchers hop over the first base line after a good inning. Some gnaw on a piece of fingernail throughout a game.

Interesting thread. I think -no fear- of success in whichever form is an important characteristic, and it's prevalant in all societies. It'd be hard to quantify or even assume that some cultures have more or less of it. Surprisingly though. I've found that most of the top 10 traders at...

i agree with you on most of what you wrote, but i didn't say that all "good" traders average 20,000. The discussion was born on trading frequency/commissions and someone's disbelief that anyone could trade that much and still make any money. Thanks fo the post tho, makes sense. stone roses

Well, in the business, if this happened to a trader consistently, he would simply be... a bad trader. Your "What if" statement is flawed and doesn't really apply to what i'm refering to, because it assumes that all traders are bad.. Simply, *good* traders don't churn or "spray paint", it's...

I think the idea of those traders who go 100 trades a day is that they are not concerned with commission and they see a hundred opportunities a day. For instance, you can be a retail trader, and make a few good trades one day, make a few thousand and pay up less than 50 bux or so in commission...

Question about your firm. will you allow a trader to buy a million dollars worth of stocks if he has 30K in his account, assuming he's at your firm for a long enough period of time and is profitable, if he nets big previous year. Let's say, 20 stocks 1000 shares each, at a given time in the...
